Bruce and Kevin,
As I point out in the MUFON Symposium article on page 151, note
15:
"Historian Dr. Larry Bland at the Marshall Foundation said that
he could 'find the correct stationery and an appropriate
typewriter' to 'fake the MJ-12 documents' such as the CTM, the
only one with the stationery even known (ibid.[Stan Friedman's
TS/MAJIC], p.153)."
But remember, I did not write the article with Barry Greenwood
in order to re-investigate the _entire_ MJ-12 controversy but
only to show what fresh new light the secret Pratt files and
tapes shed on the origins and authenticity, or lack of same, of
MJ-12. That's why this was in a footnote (got published as
endnotes because of a software conversion problem). I had
intended that these would be in footnotes so you could see the
backup evidence right at the bottom of the page, but the
publication did not come out that way.
